About this design:
What a steal I got today. I went to Micheals and saw these 3 items on sale for 90%off. So they were ranging from $1-$1.39. I picked up all the white stands. They had pink and I almost got them but I am not a fan of pink. I only picked up 1 bench and 1 jar.
Well the kicker is that they rang up .01 each and the manager said they had to give them to me for .01. I wish I picked the rest of them up. you can only imagine the manager ran to the shelf to take the rest off. I saved $87 off the original prices!!! And I love them too. I have been looking for those stands but wasn't willing to pay what they wanted.

Jade aka Caryn says:I know…if I knew they were going to be
.01 I would have. Darn, but I got a steal and I am happy bout that. I got a few other things on clearance but I like to wait for the 40% off on the bead strands. Oh and I used the 40% off coupon so I had a good shopping day

Jade aka Caryn says:I am lucky to have some really great LBS here. I like Micheal’s because I can hit up some good deals on basic things but the LBS has EVERYTHING. I think I spent $175 the last time in a blink of an eye. I have gotten good at holding back when the beads aren’t 40%off

Canadian chicky karen says:Wow you got a great deal. Our Micheal’s here in Canada are 40-50% higher prices than in the states. I often go over to Niagara Falls, NY or Port Huron MI and go to Hobby Lobby or Micheals.

Jewelry by Shannon says:Wow, you got an amazing deal for sure.
Is that a fish that I see taking in all the pics behind the bench??!

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:WHAT A DEAL!!!

Wish our local Michael’s had what the rest of you talk about. Their selection is very poor. (Other beaders in the area agree)
But……. that just means I save money!!!
So happy for you Jade! Love those kinds of finds!!

KittyMom Linda says:Oh Jade, I was in two different Michaels today. I didn’t check anything out except the bead sections because I was kind of in a hurry. I’m ticked off now! I sure would have picked up the stuff for the 1.39 prices too and would have died to see the 1 cent price come up. I’d have loved the pink. Would have gone great with my purple tablecloths! Good for you. I’m so happy you got a great deal.
